Couple more bits and bobs done today....
The KTM kick starter wouldn't clear the footrest on the new frame as the engine is pulled further back than the Faber one. I therefore decided to go for the standard BSA style kick starter from Terry Weedy. Unfortunately it wasn't cranked out enough so it needed a bit of heat and another tweak to get it out past the footrest. I know it's not a big deal but I hate having to lift footrests to kick the bike over and on the odd occasion that I have tightened the bolt so that it stays up I find it catching a bank or something in a section and staying up so it's not there when you need it. easier solution to change the kick starter me thinks...
The clamps that had been made for the fork brace/mudguard bracket were made in a bit of a rush last year and were never really finished off. These have now had the sharp edges rounded off and finished a bit smoother and also a couple of nylon cable guides made for the front brake cable. All little touches that finish the job off nicely and make a difference..
